Obsessed with the Flood - II

>

We have an interesting statement in the Hislop's book:

"...........It was no mere astronomic festival, then, that the Pagans celebrated at the winter solstice. That festival at Rome was called the feast of Saturn, and the mode in which it was celebrated there, showed whence it had been derived. The feast, as regulated by Caligula, lasted five days; * loose reins were given to drunkenness and revelry, slaves had a temporary emancipation, ** and used all manner of freedoms with their masters.
* Subsequently the number of the days of the Saturnalia was increased to seven. See JUSTUS LIPSIUS, Opera, tom. ii, Saturnal lib. i. cap. 4.
** If Saturn, or Kronos, was, as we have seen reason to believe, Phoroneus, "The emancipator," the "temporary emancipation" of the slaves at his festival was exactly in keeping with his supposed character.............." [The Two Babylons, chapter CHRISTMAS AND LADY-DAY]

Keep also in mind Tertullian (also quoted by Hislop in the beginning of the above mentioned chapter), about the disastrous influence of pagan customs on the strenghten of the Faith:

"......Nor is the Nativity included in the feasts recognized by Irenaeus or Tertullian (On Baptism, XIX), who admonishes Christians in his treatise On Idolatry not to partake in the Saturnalia, or gift-giving at the new year or midwinter, or "an idol's birthday" when "every pomp of the devil is frequented" (X). "The Saturnalia and New-year's and Midwinter's festivals and Matronalia are frequented—presents come and go—New-year's gifts—games join their noise—banquets join their din!" (XIV). Just as the heathen does not celebrate the Lord's Day (Sunday) or Pentecost, so Christians should not partake in their festivals; rather, they have a festive day every week whereas pagans celebrate only once a year. "When the world rejoices, let us grieve; and when the world afterward grieves, we shall rejoice" (XIII)........" [ http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/calendar/invictus.html ]

 
Probably you are now already accustomed with the evident pagan fraudulent taking possession  of the symbol and of the religious significance of the Noah's Dove, to tame it and transform it  in an obedient bird at the service of the  imperial pagan roman system.

And what else have we now? I bring such information in order to not be ambiguous. Again the Sol Invictus:

".........In the Julian reform of the Roman calendar, December 25, the eighth day after the Kalends of January (VIII Kal. Jan.), was recognized as the winter solstice.............." [source as abovehttp://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/calendar/invictus.html ]

And the Julian calendar:

"........The Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC (708 AUC), was a reform of the Roman calendar. It took effect in 45 BC (709 AUC). It was the predominant calendar in most of Europe, and in European settlements in the Americas and elsewhere, until it was refined and superseded by the Gregorian calendar. The difference in the length of the year between Julian (365.25 days) and Gregorian (365.2425 days) is 0.002%..........." [  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar  ]

Therefore it is confirmed that after Caligula the Saturnalia was brought up to seven days and that the Sol Invictus birthday was the day 25. No doubts on it:

"........
Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honor of the deity Saturn, held on December 17 of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through December 23. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves.^[1] The poet Catullus called it "the best of days."^[2]
........." [  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia  ]

Well keep in mind the days from 17 to 23 december.... And now a question of branches of trees - still from Hislop's book [The Two Babylons, chapter CHRISTMAS AND LADY-DAY] :

"......And this entirely accounts for the putting of the Yule Log into the fire on Christmas-eve, and the appearance of the Christmas-tree the next morning. As Zero-Ashta, "The seed of the woman," which name also signified Ignigena, or "born of the fire," he has to enter the fire on "Mother-night," that he may be born the next day out of it, as the "Branch of God," or the Tree that brings all divine gifts to men.........".

 Further in a note, Hislop says:

"........* In the Scandinavian story of Balder, the mistletoe branch is distinguished from the lamented god. The Druidic and Scandinavian myths somewhat differed; but yet, even in the Scandinavian story, it is evident that some marvellous power was attributed to the mistletoe branch; for it was able to do what nothing else in the compass of creation could accomplish; it slew the divinity on whom the Anglo-Saxons regarded "the empire" of their "heaven" as "depending." Now, all that is necessary to unravel this apparent inconsistency, is just to understand "the branch" that had such power, as a symbolical expression for the true Messiah..........."

Well, the Noah's Dove with a leaf of olive tree today is a dove with a branch of olive tree.... again a pagan-satanist allegory of the true Messiah? See the dove logo of the International World Peace day - the 1st January:

The olive branch - the Yule Log - the mistletoe branch???.......

2013-01-01 Vatican Radio

......(Vatican Radio) The Catholic Church marks the World Day of Peace each January 1st. In his 2013 message for the day, entitled “Blessed are the Peacemakers,” Pope Benedict XVI says peace is possible in today’s world but everyone must work together as a family to achieve it. ...."

Well, could it be that the pagans/satanists forced the Ark's Dove to bring the branch/Sol Invictus on the eve of 25th December? Just take in mind those seven days of Saturnalia, ending just with the day 23.... Where else did you hear about seven days?...Maybe the days of waiting of Noah on the Ark before another attempt with the dove???....

Yeah you right.... the first time Noah waited seven days before to make another attempt with the Dove.... If the second attempt can be considered as falling on the eight day, pagans and satanists have now a timing of a Dove which comes back with a leaf or a part of a branch, just after the Saturnalia's seven days and before the Sol Invictus birthday.....too inviting for them in order to not manipulate and degrade it....

Confusion in your head? No problem, just now only give a look to the interesting coincidences of timelines, the one of the Noah's attempts with the dove and the one of the roman heathen feasts of December, coinciding with the Roman Catholic Christmas/New Year Feast....(suggestion, take in hand Genesis chapter 8, if you dont have one i reported it in References):


Overlay now the timing of the Noah's attempt with the dove and the Saturnalia/Sol Invictus/Christmas timings - the frame is the common month of December:

 Summary: with the day 16 the Dove comes back without leaves, empty beak:

".........
⁸ Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
⁹ But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
............"

 Now Noah waiting seven days, therefore from the next sequent day 17 to the day 23, and are exactly seven days the Roman satanists declared "Saturnalia":

".........¹⁰ And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;.........."

 If he "stayed other seven days" I argue he sent forth the dove on the eight day, therefore on the eve of the Sol Invictus' birthday, the day 24. But it was a short flight. Right in the same evening the Dove comes back with the leaf (then in the pagan-satanist imagination grown till the dimension of a branch)....bringing the Sol Invictus?....:

"......¹¹ And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth........."

...."and Noah knew the waters were abated", another biblical event distorted, manipulated and forced to serve idolatry.... Ok, he now starts again to wait, logically beginning with the sequent day, the 25 of the birthday....:

"........¹² And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more................".

.....to try another attempt only after the seven days of pause..... 25,.... 26,..... 27,...... 28,...... 29,..... 30,...... 31, end!  And which is the day when he for the third time sends the Dove, but it never again comes back as his legs found a soil where to rest????


Exactly in the International World Peace day on 1st January whose logo is a "dove with a branch" (see above picture with URL)......


Obvious - for the heathens -  that the legs of the dove rested and  'consecrated' the pagan soil of Babylon, Egypt, Rome,... but this has just been explained in two previous posts (see below the links).

...........
Below you can find a little scheme I created to help the understanding. I hope to have made  not too much errors in my analysis:

Genesis 8

King James Version (KJV)

8 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;

² The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
³ And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
⁴ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
⁵ And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
⁶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
⁷ And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
⁸ Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
⁹ But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
¹⁰ And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
¹¹ And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
¹² And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
¹³ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
¹⁴ And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
¹⁵ And God spake unto Noah, saying,
¹⁶ Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
¹⁷ Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
¹⁸ And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
¹⁹ Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
²⁰ And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
²¹ And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
²² While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
